Description: | RH s. in pencil b.r. "2 / L. Valtat" CRE VALTAT, Louis; (French; 1869-1952) NFA assisted purchase. This is a colour woodcut wrapper for a set of 8 colour woodcuts titled "Femmes". It can be dated to around 1903-05 when Valtat was painting a number of nudes and bathers in high-key colour. The idea for 'Femmes' may have sprung from his close friendship with Renoir, who was then engaged on a suite of lithographs, chiefly of nudes, for Vollard. Never published as an edition, the prints were pulled in tiny numbers by the artist. Apart from this set at the Hunterian, which is numbered '2', another, numbered '1', is known at the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | FIGURE : FEMALE : NUDE : CHILD : FAUVE : COLOUR : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
